NEW! Icom IC-7300MK2 First Look!

Thanks to Gigaparts for sending the NEW ICOM 7300MK2 out on loan so we can see what’s new with this updated radio! It’s a MK2 so basically just an update to the already awesome Icom 7300. We now have USB-C (Finally!!), RX antenna ports, LAN for remote operation, CW Decoding, and HDMI video output. I think it’s supposed to have a better receiver to the tune of ~12dB but don’t hold me to that. This is an unboxing and first look at the menus to see what’s new/changed.
